This means that buyers can get the full $7,500 Federal tax credit if they take delivery by the end of this year. After that, Tesla buyers will get $3,750 for the first half of 2019 and $1,875 in the second half of 2019 before it is completely gone.

Tesla has set the deadline to get delivery by the end of the year in order to get the full $7500 tax credit on new orders as October 15th, 2018.

Owners can give five friends free, unlimited free Supercharging with the purchase of a new Model S, Model X or Model 3 Performance for orders placed by September 16, 2018. After September 16, 2018, full unlimited Supercharging will go away and owners will be able to give friends a $100 Supercharging credit.

Our Take:If you are looking to purchase a new or inventory Tesla anytime soon, now is the time. Consider September 16th your deadline. After that date you will lose out on free supercharging and begin challenging you ability to qualify for the Federal $7,500 credit. The Federal credit will reduce in half for any car delivered after December 31st, 2018. With most new builds taking months to produce and deliver the window is closing in.

A Google Wifi system worked great for me and significantly improved my speed and reliability.

Tesla has confirmed that it has hit the 200,000th US delivery threshold. This milestone triggers the phase-out period.

Tesla buyers will lose the full $7,500 credit on new or inventory vehicles by the end of 2018, phasing to $3750 for the first half of 2019 and $1875 in the second half of 2019.

The big push for Model 3 production expedited this phase out milestone. However it appears Tesla intentionally timed the 200,000 vehicle to be sold in July (Q3) as to extend the phase out timeline.

For new and inventory Model S, X, and 3 buyers the federal phase out will look like this, under current rules.$7,500On or before December 31, 2018$3,750January 1 to June 30, 2019$1,875July 1 to December 31, 2019

There’s a new bill in Congress that is attempting to remove the delivery limit for the federal tax credit and replace it with a time limit but it doesn't seems likely to pass at this time.
